Not a racist post, I am just concerned that this is not helpful when the driver should have been demonised for pulling out.

It looked to me like the bloke on the bike stopped next to the car before the car had started to move. Next to the driver's window. I wonder if there was something threatening going on before the car even moved, and the clumsy driving that followed was a scared young man trying to get away from a dangerous bloke who just happened to be on a bike. It looked that way to me. Like a clumsy and panic driven attempt to escape.

I'm not inclined to read DM reader comments and thereby taint my psyche for the rest of the day.

totally unbelievable, the size of that knife and what happened in broad day light, too close to home for me.
Did they get the man, is he in custody? we are not told
he clearly needs to be caught, fast

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this isn't some gang related vendetta attack of some kind.

That's not a random attack

Definitely not random. The driver pulls away in a panic and then crashes in to the cars on the left.

well, I am not going to stop him . He's got a sword!

This is why we should all have a proper frame-fit pump.

But it really didn't look like a traffic event , did it?

What happens in London soon becomes the norm elsewhere, and in the internet age, the catch-up is so much quicker.

Back in the news again. The Court of Appeal has quashed the two year suspended sentence and imposed three and a half years imprisonment.
